It may be an idea to give a number of rating on modules such as ease of installation, number of dependencies, documentation and so forth.
The fun I had building some modules that require lots of other modules which may require some library that is a real pig to build.
This may be a better way of scoring a module than a simple score, so if there are 2 modules that do the same job but one is fairly simple, well doc'd and pure perl it may score more than the more complete, faster C module that can only be compiled with IBM's compiler on SCO Unix on a wet Friday afternoon provided the month has an 'M' in it. :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
